Ruth wants to let everyone know that this Thursday, Sept. 17, from 6-10pm, The Midway Pub in East Atlanta is donating a portion of all proceeds to The Lymphoma and Leukemia Society. The Midway has a great beer selection and excellent high-end pub food, a big outdoor patio, and flat-screen TVs for watching sports. Come any time between 6 and 10 and eat eat drink drink!
If you can’t make it but want to make a little donation to help Ruth reach her goal, you can do that online. Just go here: http://pages.teamintraining.org/ga/tucson09/rstanford
Will someone please take my list of weaknesses away from CrossFit HQ?!?
What’s the substitute if you can’t do double-unders?
I did box jumps last time. Annie on a box! Hoping to do the same today.
the official, HQ sub is tuck jumps, but we usually sub 15″ box hops
I hate double unders… so this is perfect:)
Ruth, I will definitely be there! That day at work I have an all day meeting to discuss “strategic planning”….I am thinkin that a drink or two at the end of the day, for a good cause, is not a bad idea at all!
Yeah Thursday is my “bad” day at work…if I can swing it, I’ll come too!
I’m so sad that I’m not there for this one
And, we don’t follow HQ at the crossfit here (I will probably just do this one at home).
Oh, hi everyone! I hope all is well with each of you
We miss you Danielle! And those lovely girls too.
miss you dani! glad you found a crossfit gym there. come visit soon!
GREAT picture of the mighty Joy!!
Hope to see lots of hungry CrossFitters at Midway after the WOD on Thursday! Endorsement: The steak is *amazing*.
Terri, I think I can make it Thursday night.
Yay!!!
out of town for work til the 21st..eat a steak for me!
i have some family in town this week but hope to escape thurs night!
barbara and that lunging/box jump workout and like a million pullups have left my body, well, tired and feeling a little discouraged so i was glad to see this one come up. rx-7:18.
great pic joy. you are a terrific encouragement!
Time: 16:44 (box jumps)
Got a taste of working out at 6:30 am…we had to have our son on a bus for a school trip at 6, so I figured why not? Thanks to the early risers for the encouragement today!
Aargh! Double-unders! I need to start doing these in my warmup. Apparently I won’t get any better at them if I don’t practice. It took me 19:16 to do Annie. I was slow, slow, slow. Tired of being so darn slow.
Maybe we could have a double under “mini workshop”….I have never been able to get consistent DUs and I’m sure I am just doing something wrong…
I usually sub 5 singles per DU but its really not the same.
I just looked back at my notes and realized I don’t t hink I’ve done a basic Annie. The last time she came up some saddist (me) decided to make it “Squatting Annie Up” – meaning I added squats and pullups to the double unders and sit ups. Now that was a good time:)

I second the emotion of a double-under workshop. I feel like I just don’t have the gene that makes it possible.
i am embarking on a long work trip…i have a jump rope packed and plan on attempting lots of double unders and also handstands while i’m gone…wish me luck!
I’ll definitely be there on Thursday night.
Hello Crossfit RX! I am temporarily living in the neighborhood so I am joining you for a month of crossfitting fun. I look forward to meeting you all soon!
Welcome, Erica. And it doesn’t have to be temporary. You won’t be that far once you move back into your house. So you could stay with us at Rx if you want to. Just sayin…
Glad to have you Erica… sorry to miss the 7 AM session this morning. I am sure I’ll see you though soon!
Welcome Erica, we are glad to have you!
Was very disappointed in “Annie” this morning. Was fully expecting to crack 7 mins, but the Sit Ups did not cooperate. Probably would have done better, but kept switching my sit ups (butterfly, anchored, and even anchored butterfly). Only missed 2 or 3 double unders.
7:49 (1 second PR)
Felt tired this morning. I’ve hit a lot of PR’s lately, and frankly, I’m pooped.
Wasn’t motivated, and had to use a rope that’s a little too short. I broke my DUs a lot because I was tired, not because I missed (which was stupid), and my round of 40 was mostly in 3′s. Just sad, really. If I can do this with less breaks, I should have no problem getting sub-7.
7:49 PR
Got over to the gym earlier than usual today. Enjoyed the 7am crew a lot.
RX- 7:25
The one thing I can say is that I connected ALL of my double unders. That was a HUGE accomplishment!! My situps sucked, but I didn’t really care all that much. All in all, I felt great.
Nice job Zeke! Yeah, I agree , who cares about the sit-ups if your DU are that good!
…what does it say when you just hope not to hit yourself too much with the darn jumprope during DU sets??
…oh yeah, practice more DU’s (duh)
15:01 – not a good time, particularly since I looked back at my notes and saw I completed “Squatting” Annie (just added in squats too) in 14:31 minutes a year and a half ago.
Guess this means double unders (along with muscle ups) need to be in my warm ups and practice!
Annie on a box: 17:01.
PR of about a minute over Sept. 5, when I did this workout as an alternate. That day I froze during the box jumps. Today my jumping was steady but slow. Must. Jump. Faster.
Rx – 5:41
Anchored ABMAT SUs. Missed two DUs during last set (after telling myself you better not miss any during the last round). Practice has definitely helped DUs though.
How much of a PR?
Gr8 job Fella! You and Kelly smashed that WOD. If memory serves, your last time was 12 or 13 mins.
Also, big shout out to everybody that did their first double under workout today. And to Joel, who might be the first person in history to stick a handstand on his very first try in life. HA, gotta love it!
Lamar, that’s amazing. Nice work.
Box jumps/Anchored Abmat: 17:14
Still need to practice DU…seems like I couldn’t for the life of me get more than 4 or 5 at a time. Ridiculously slow! It was awesome to watch LaMar and Kelley speed through this workout though.
26:24
Kelly…get it straight ameryntheia!
Awww shit! I sat there for awhile before I wrote it and wondered if I spelled it wrong! My sincere apologies Kelly.
But dang, I guess I will have to get it straight, if you are gonna go and butcher my name up on purpose! What a punk…haha!
Not terrible. Anchored SUs and DUs two in a row. Waste of time reseting.
15:28 I think…
jk…
I really didn’t want to do this W.O.D. I have avoided any ‘DU’ W.O.D. thus far because I’ve never done them and really thought I’d suck…Still plenty of room to improve, but turns out I don’t suck quite as bad as I thought. Still, I missed ruffly 20 DU’s. Looking forward to this one again…It was fun!
6:30, helped having Lamar right in front of me(crazy fast)
10:16 anchored situps. Situps slow, but steady. Never took a break. DUs respectable. First round got about 20-25 then took a while to get back on track.
